About
Lee Ji-sang's Yellow Flower is an experimental independent film that combines fiction with documentary elements and uses a fragmented narrative to explore sexuality, consumerism, alienation, and the pursuit of freedom. Structured in two parts, it follows the same male character at different ages, juxtaposing adult preoccupations with money, power, and sexual desire against the reckless, disoriented existence of youth. The film draws on the poetry of Kim Soo-young to question the relationship between personal desire and the pressures of capitalist society. Its provocative treatment of the body, taboo, and self-destructive behavior places it within the more radical currents of late-1990s South Korean independent cinema. It was selected for the New Currents section of the 1998 Busan International Film Festival.
